(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a re-recorded (not simply remastered) version of the old favorite. The tracks are all tastefully re-done, many better than the original. It doesn't have the same strange mystique as the original release, but it's still a solid piece of work.
Cutty Wren isn't cut into two parts.
Bad Squire and Coal Not Dole are new tracks..."
Punks origins are in 77....

"1377 that is.
Ive only got the first version of this but its a wonderful album. It shows the roots of "protest music" through what we would consider old folk songs, it shows that people have always been struggling and gives a bit to chew on. Its great for fans of punk open-minded enough to accept that punk isnt just 1 2 3 4 and some screaming (which is good in its own right) as well as being great for folks who realize that Chumbawamba were much more open minded and intelligent than the punks who've cried sell-out have given them credit for."
English Rebel Songs (1381-1984) and its songs

"the English Rebel Songs (1381-1984) sessions contains 13 songs sung in a manner of just over a half an hour. each acapella song is short but unforgotten. the voices that come out of Chumbawamba are remarkable and really slams chumbawamba as one of the few and rare bands that can actually sing without lyp-synching, and they're put to the test with English Rebel Songs (1381-1984). this albums is highly recommended for those who love music and its history."
